Description [name redacted] 2003-08-06 08:44:18 UTC
This document contains a nice 'About the install' intro and such, but the
documents end kinda rude with a lot of 'code' and there it just ends. 

How about a last paragraph or chapter with ... well, it doesn't matter. Don't
just end with some coding about how LILO users should set the root option to the
appropriate RAID device when running 'Gentoo On Less-Common Hardware' :p

If none of the document writers can come up with a nice story, I'd be willing to
write a nice peace :)   -IF such closing speach is wanted.

I'm talking about the install.htlm document which is bundled with the 1.4 release by the way.

Once upon a time there was a midget... I'll find a good story :)

A pinguin, it has to be a pinguin! No midget :(     :p
Comment 4 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-08-06 10:49:15 UTC
A penguin? How original... :)

Okay, consensus: a midget with a penguin as his personal pet ?

How about a midget penguin?

Proposed patch to gentoo-x86-install.xml

Okay, no midgets, no penguins, just two small sentences... the last section on
the installation guide is meant as a reference (i.e. it's not the last thing
the reader reads) for people who want to install Gentoo Linux on less-common
hardware.
